Jane Elliott was born in 1800 in Madison, KY. Her parents were John and Virginia Elliott (nothing on them). The family was Scottish-Presbyterian. She married James M. Gentry. She had been his/the family's governess (she was only 4 years his senior). After their 1st four children were born they moved to Illinois near the home of a former acquaintance, Henry Davenport. Two Davenport boys married 2 of their girls, John Milton Gentry (my line) married Angeline Davenport. She appears on the 1850 census for Morgan, IL. She died Jan 1880 and is buried in the Little Sandy Graveyard in Morgan, IL. I'd love more info on the Elliott and Davenport's especially as the Gentry's are pretty well documented. Jan
